The World’s Fastest Rolls Royce stopped foot traffic at SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Nevada. Little Joe’s Street Rod Shop named it and put it on display in the show as an outside feature vehicle.
Luxury additions on the 1970 Silver Shadow include a leather trunk with matching battery covers and one of four television sets
Builder named 1970 Silver Shadow, The World's Fastest Rolls Royce
The 1970 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow is a daily driver. The owner has two of the same models and wanted to do something wild with one of them. “He has a fascination with Hemi engines and wanted more power on his Rolls,” said Joe Richardson of Little Joe’s Street Rod Shop. “As a result the modified Rolls Royce is a plush luxury car with a huge motor.”

It has a fuel injected 572 cubic inch Chrysler Hemi motor. There is also a nitrous-oxide system and a BDS 671 style supercharger for more power. “There is a K&N air filter on the end of the idle speed control motor,” said Richardson. ” Richardson ran the Hemi on a dyno and said he made 1350 horsepower.
The Silver Shadow went to Richardson as 6200 pounds of unibody stock. “We cut from bumper to bumper and rocker to rocker,” he said. “We had to gut the car for a complete aftermarket chassis.”

“All the suspensions from Chris Austin Chassis are either chrome plated or polished stainless,” said Richardson. “The entire roll cage is hand stitched leather. It’s made like a baseball stitch and is very time consuming. It took 8 hours to do one single bar and five months to finish the interior.”
The Silver Shadow has stock bumpers, door handles, and lights. “We received all expenses paid invitations
from corporations at SEMA to tour car shows in Germany, France and Canada,” said Richardson. “Rolls Royce is making a comeback.”
The Harley Davidson Touring lineup has a list of improvements, including a new frame and swingarm. Its new Isolated Drive System is only part of the package.
K&N custom intake assembly RK-3930 for Harley-Davidson Touring Models
K&N has released a new high flow custom intake assembly (RK-3930) for all 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 Harley-Davidson Touring Models. See the complete list of motorcycles below. It is designed to fit neatly behind your Touring Model’s air filter cover as it provides a substantial increase in airflow resulting in additional horsepower and torque.
The RK-3930 includes an oversized original high flow air filter which provides an extra large filtration area while offering longer service intervals. This filter, like all K&N original high-flow filters is washable and reusable, pre-oiled and ready to ride.
A Bump-Seal is used at the base to provide a perfect seal. The cast aluminum backing plate includes built-in, internal breathers. A bolted-in, dyno-tuned velocity stack increases airflow velocity into the throttle body.
Spacers and hardware are included to
mount your stock Harley Davidson air cleaner cover. Fuel management modifications are not necessary to obtain increased performance.
Covered by our famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty, it will be the last air filter your motorcycle will ever need.

We put eleven coats of Sunset Red Candy
paint on top of a gold base.”
K&N supplied De Encio with its
69-7082TS air intake system. “K&N, hands down, makes the best air intake kit on the market today,” he said. “K&N sees the fit and enhances the way vehicles perform. We noticed the increase in horsepower immediately. We also equipped our car with a K&N oil filter.”

More than 120,000 enthusiasts from around the globe attended SEMA in Las Vegas, Nevada for a chance to see the best of the automotive world
Die Cast car collectors waited in line at SEMA to get a K&N Hot Wheels 1970 Plymouth Barracuda by Mattel designer Jerry Thienprasiddhi
Eye candy is a staple of Las Vegas, it comes in all forms depending on individual desires, but at SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) it is definitely in a world of its own. More than 120,000 people from around the globe went to Nevada to see the best of the automotive world.
K&N had several pieces of eye candy in its booth at the Las Vegas Convention
Center. One of them was a modified 2009 Dodge Challenger. People took pictures
with it, and asked questions about it, but almost everyone noticed something
interesting on the dash. Just out of reach, to be seen but not touched was a
limited edition K&N 1970 Plymouth Barracuda collector car from Hot Wheels, a
mirror image of the Challenger.
The tease turned into a dream come true for die cast collectors. A group of attendees stood in line over the course of two days to get an original K&N collectable from Hot Wheels and K&N. Hands down,
said collectors, of all the classic muscle cars, some of the most valuable are the Dodge Challengers and Plymouth Barracudas from the 1970s.
Hot Wheels designer Jerry Thienprasiddhi used K&N graphics on the side and top of the Barracuda. He also kept the clean lines from the original Plymouth Barracuda to create the K&N 1970 Plymouth Barracuda collector car. K&N also hosted Thienprasiddhi for an autograph session.
“I was surprised at the long line,” said Thienprasiddhi. “It’s definitely a testament to the popularity of Hot Wheels. Everyone who came through had collections from hundreds of cars to thousands upon thousands.” Thienprasiddhi can relate because his own collection stands in the thousands.
He was often asked about his favorite designs from the enthusiasts who stood in line. “Of course, the K&N Challenger was number one, but a close second would be any car with flames,” said Thienprasiddhi. “Flames on hot rods, muscle cars, motorcycles and planes are great too.”
From the autograph booth to the real deal, the crowd migrated to the K&N 2009 Dodge Challenger. Under the hood was a K&N air intake system 57-1542, to give this muscle car additional horsepower.
Other modifications included:
Magnaflow Cat Back Exhaust
Eiback Springs
360 Forged Wheels
Nitto Tires
Modern Image Decals
“Originally, the design was meant for a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda, so I did not know what to expect at the K&N booth,” said Thienprasiddhi. “It turned out great though. K&N did a great job. The Challenger was a great choice and definitely one of the signature cars of this year’s SEMA show. Most of the ones I saw there had the usual stripes going down the side or top. The K&N version definitely stood out.”
The SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) show is filled with tricked out vehicles, incredible paint jobs and daily drivers.

“Part of my job is research and development,” said O’Hara. “I test my DualLiner truck bed liner to make sure it performs and I run K&N. I’ve never been as happy as I have with a K&N air intake kit. I picked up power and a little gas mileage and I love the sound of air coming through the K&N air filter.”
